It's hard to tell, I haven't been able to reproduce on suspend to disk/mem.
Does this script eventually trigger it after some time?
#!/bin/bash
do_hotplug()
{
for i in $(seq 1 $2)
do
echo $1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online
done
}
LAST_CPU=$(($(nproc)-1))
while true
do
do_hotplug 0 $LAST_CPU
do_hotplug 1 $LAST_CPU
done
